$A$ small object is placed at the center of a large evacuated hollow spherical container. Assume that the container is maintained at $0 \ K$. At time $t = 0$,the temperature of the object is $200 \ K$. The temperature of the object becomes $100 \ K$ at $t = t_1$ and $50 \ K$ at $t = t_2$. Assume the object and the container to be ideal black bodies. The heat capacity of the object does not depend on temperature. The ratio $(t_2 / t_1)$ is:

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $8$
  • D
    $9$

Radiation from a black body at the thermodynamic temperature $T_1$ is measured by a small detector at distance $d_1$ from it. When the temperature is increased to $T_2$ and the distance to $d_2$,the power received by the detector is unchanged. What is the ratio $d_2/d_1$?
